Posted: 4/5/2008 3:28:44 AM | One thing men without photos do (I've noticed) is stall about sending one while trying to engage in coversation. Then when they do show you what they look like, OMG is right!!! So like you I don't reply to anyone who doesn't include their photo upfront.

Posted: 8/3/2008 9:11:04 AM | we do it to weed out all those paranoid freak overly suspicious nutbar jobs who think that not having a pic means something devious.
it makes life so much easier as those who do contact us or return our contact have a mindset that is compatible to our own and are not concerned about such matters.
or..
we do it just to pi$$ you off.
pick one. or don't it your choice. | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 10:03:54 AM | Fact ......... Most Women just want to judge you on a pic, how can you judge a person on a pic ??????? it may be bad, not like you, if they dont like that very small out of focus pic , then no matter how nice, kind, you are they will not take the chance and EVER meet you
you know that is total B.S.!!! how many men do you think would look at my profile or any other woman's profile if we had no photos??? i'll tell you how many, ZERO!!!! would you buy a car or anything else if you had no idea what it looked like??? OF COURSE NOT!!! | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 2:03:01 PM | From MY experience on here, the reasons that people don't post their photos are because they are:
- married or in a relationship
- over weight
- handicaped
- high profile positions
- stalkers
- conducting surveys (re: photo vs. no photo)
- playing around (men pretending to be women AND vice versa)
- they have fetishes and don't want to be pointed out by those they've chatted with in past
........ and I'm sure there are other reasons that I haven't come across yet.
I was open minded for a while ... until I came across a SECOND stalker. So they chat women up hoping to land a date and when things go wrong, they delete their profiles and start over again ... with new HIDDEN profiles, a new profile name and private photos. So there is no way you can search them out and warn others.
MY new rule: If you don't have a photo posted on your profile, I refuse to discuss anything with you. Two rotten apples have ruined it for everyone!
no profile photo = no response AND you are NOT allowed on my favourites list!  | |

I met someone recently who was much heavier than even her pics showed. Sadly, there are no guarantees.

Posted: 8/3/2008 2:13:23 PM | There are some that legitimately don't have a picture on their profiles for professional purposes and I can understand that.
But there IS the option to upload pictures and set them to private which means you can attach them to any message you send but they're not visible to anyone looking at your profile.
Problem solved.
I don't like being asked for my email address so someone can email me their photo when they can choose the private image option instead and be done with it.
I recently had some snake write to me and claim to be a successful real estate mover and shaker about 25-30 miles away from me. He was pretty aggressive with wanting to talk on the phone and then a subsequent meeting and I told him it was only fair that I saw his picture since he'd seen mine.
This guy needed an updated version of "The Married Man's Guide to Lying & Cheating" because his excuses for having no picture were pitifully pathetic.
He said, "oh, I can hardly turn this computer on. I just don't know how to upload a picture and haven't taken the time to try to learn but I will."
I replied, "gosh, and there's no professional portrait of you on your company's website that you could direct me to? Hmmmm...so let me get this straight - you were able to find your way to Plenty of Fish, you managed to fill out a full profile, you did a geographical search and located me based on whatever preferences you chose, you wrote to me, you knew when I'd written back and were able to read my reply to which you replied back once more, YET uploading a picture is beyond your technological capabilities? Seriously????"
Oddly enough, the dumb-ass never replied.
Wonder why? | |

You get what you give out. Love Sunshine | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 3:16:15 PM | why are there so many women without photos?
1/ They are married
2/ They are fugly
3/ They are just plain dumb, and don't know how to upload one.
4/ They are not that serious about dating anyhow.
5/ 3 above is the underlying cause.
Seriously though I would think some men don't post their photos because they don't want to go to work, pub, football, shopping and have people say"i seen you on POF".
Sadly in my town internet dating is perceived as being desperate and who wants to be seen in this light?.Oh and no snipes for this post please. | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 4:40:55 PM | But on the other hand most female profiles have a string of pictures starting with the oldest one first !
So your thread is sexist !
I have often seen a picture of a woman and thought she looked attractive for her age only to looking at the string of pictures and see how she looks today !
Come on girls even I looked good 20 years ago  | |

It's not logical to be on the dating site without a picture, would you agree? It's like rent a building, hire people, produce something in the order to make money....and forget about marketing who's gonna care about your business? | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 4:49:20 PM | short fat and ugly describes me. add insufferable pcirk and that about does it.
I think that a mental picture would be more appropriate than anything I could scounge up .
and of course, I do it to upset those people who get upset about these things. | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 5:49:27 PM | | In fairness, there also plenty of women with out photos. I wouldn't assume that all men or women without photos are married or ugly. There are plenty of people who have old, deceptive, or fake photos. IMO that is worse than not having a photo. | |

if you have not yet discovered, you soon shall: Logic has almost nothing to do with dating love or anything else to do with much of human interaction.
and Logic is often devoid in the threads.
do you happen to work for the Rand corporation and apply those theories to you life? lol
we are not vulcans ( star trek reference for non fans ) although some do appear to be vocanoes.
and perhaps, people without photos are of the type who don't think as you do. And are seeking people who think outside the box and draw outside the lines. Who sometimes draw the sky as being lemon- lime or who see the ocean as being magenta in color.
you are making the incorrect assumption that only your way of thinking is good. and logic is best - it may be for you. But not always.
you are saying that people who don't put up a pic are doing something 'wrong' yet in fact this so -called 'wrong' or illogical event achieves the desired outcome.
it repells people who are unwanted.
it attracts people who have the desired outlook.
wishing you all the best.
